The outcome of pain relief was assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS) and Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) pain grade and grouped as complete pain relief (BNI grades I\u2013III) or unsuccessful pain relief (BNI grades IV\u2013V). Recurrence and complications were also monitored and recorded.

During the mean follow-up period of 44.3\u2009months, 15 patients (17.2%) experienced recurring pain. No severe complications occurred, except for hypoesthesia restricted to the V2 distribution in all patients (100%) and facial hematoma in 10 patients (11.5%).
